ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
On September 28, 2005, Charter Communications, Inc. ("Charter"), the indirect
parent company and manager of Charter Communications Holdings, LLC and Charter
Communications Holdings Capital Corporation, announced the closing of the offers
of its subsidiaries CCH I, LLC ("CCH I") and CCH I Holdings, LLC ("CIH") to
exchange certain of the outstanding debt securities of Charter Communications
Holdings, LLC ("Charter Holdings") in a private placement for new debt
securities as described in Item 8.01. "Other Events" and in the attached
Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2.
CCH I HOLDINGS, LLC NOTES
In September 2005, CIH and CCH I Holdings Capital Corp. jointly issued $2.5
billion total principal amount of 9.92% to 13.50% senior accreting notes due
2014 and 2015 in exchange for an aggregate amount of $2.4 billion of Charter
Holdings notes due 2011 and 2012, spread over six series of notes and with
varying interest rates as set forth in the succeeding sentence. The notes are
guaranteed by Charter Holdings and are governed by the Indenture dated as of
September 28, 2005 among CCH I Holdings, LLC and CCH I Holdings Capital Corp.,
as Issuers and Charter Communications Holdings, LLC, as Parent Guarantor, and
The Bank of New York Trust Company, NA, as Trustee, governing: 11.125% Senior
Accreting Notes due 2014, 9.920% Senior Accreting Notes due 2014, 10.000% Senior
Accreting Notes due 2014, 11.75% Senior Accreting Notes due 2014, 13.50% Senior
Accreting Notes due 2014, 12.125% Senior Accreting Notes due 2015, and filed
herewith as Exhibit 10.1.
The CIH notes are senior debt obligations of CIH and CCH I Holdings Capital
Corp. They rank equally with all other current and future unsecured,
unsubordinated obligations of CIH and CCH I Holdings Capital Corp. The CIH notes
are structurally subordinated to all obligations of subsidiaries of CIH,
including the CCH I notes, the CCH II notes, the CCO Holdings notes, the
Renaissance notes and the Charter Operating notes.
The CIH notes may not be redeemed at the option of the issuers until September
30, 2007. On or after such date, the CIH notes may be redeemed in accordance
with the following table.

January 15, 2009 - January 14, 2010 102.021%
Thereafter 100.0%
In the event that a specified change of control event happens, CIH and CCH I
Holdings Capital Corp. must offer to repurchase any outstanding notes at a price
equal to the sum of the accreted value of the notes plus accrued and unpaid
interest plus a premium that varies over time.
The indenture governing the CIH notes contains restrictive covenants similar to
those contained in the indenture governing the Charter Holdings notes with the
following exceptions:
- The debt incurrence covenant permits up to 9.75 billion (rather than
3.5 billion) of debt under credit facilities (less the amount of net
proceeds of asset sales applied to repay such debt as required by the
asset sale covenant).
- CIH and its restricted subsidiaries are generally permitted to pay
dividends on equity interests, repurchase interests, or make other
specified restricted payments only if, after giving pro forma effect
to the transaction, the CIH Leverage Ratio would be below 8.75 to 1.0
and if no default exists or would exist as a consequence of such
incurrence. If those conditions are met, restricted payments in a
total amount of up to the sum of (1) the greater of (a) $500 million
or (b) 100% of CIH consolidated EBITDA, as defined, minus 1.2 times
its consolidated interest expense, plus (2) 100% of new cash and
non-cash equity proceeds received by CIH and not allocated to the debt
incurrence covenant or to permitted investments, all cumulatively from
March 1999, the date of the first Charter Holdings indenture.
- Instead of the $150 million and $50 million permitted investment
baskets, there is a $750 million permitted investment basket.
CCH I, LLC NOTES
In September 2005, CCH I and CCH I Capital Corp. jointly issued $3.5 billion
total principal amount of 11% senior secured notes due October 2015 in exchange
for an aggregate amount of $4.2 billion of certain Charter Holdings notes. The
notes are guaranteed by Charter Holdings and are secured by a pledge of 100% of
the equity interest of CCH I's wholly owned direct subsidiary, CCH II. Such
pledge is subject to significant limitations. The pledge agreement is filed
herewith as Exhibit 10.15. Interest on the CCH I notes accrues at 11% per annum
and is payable semi-annually in arrears on each April 1 and October 1,
commencing on April 1, 2006. The notes are governed by the Indenture dated as of
September 28, 2005 among CCH I, LLC and CCH I Capital Corp., as Issuers, Charter
Communications Holdings, LLC, as Parent Guarantor, and The Bank of New York
Trust Company, NA, as Trustee, governing 11.00% Senior Secured Notes due 2015
and filed herewith as Exhibit 10.2.
The CCH I notes are senior debt obligations of CCH I and CCH I Capital Corp. To
the extent of the value of the collateral, they rank senior to all of CCH I's
future unsecured senior indebtedness. The CCH I notes are structurally
subordinated to all obligations of subsidiaries of CCH I, including the CCH II
notes, CCO Holdings notes, the Renaissance notes and the Charter Operating
notes. CCH I and CCH I Capital Corp. may, prior to October 1, 2008 in the event
of a qualified equity offering providing sufficient proceeds, redeem up to 35%
of the aggregate principal amount of the CCH I notes at a redemption price of
111% of the principal amount plus accrued interest. Aside from this provision,
CCH I and CCH I Capital Corp. may not redeem at their option any of the notes
prior to October 1, 2010. On or after October 1, 2010, CCH I and CCH I Capital
Corp. may redeem, in whole or in part, CCH I notes at the applicable prices
(expressed as percentages of principal amount) listed below, plus accrued and
unpaid interest if redeemed during the twelve month period beginning on October
1 of the years listed below.
YEAR PERCENTAGE
- ---- ----------
2010 105.5%
2011 102.75%
2012 101.375%
2013 100.0%
2014 100.0%
2015 100.0%
If a change of control occurs, each holder of the CCH I notes will have the
right to require the repurchase of all or any part of that holder's CCH I notes
at 101% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. The indenture
governing the CCH I notes contains restrictive covenants that limit certain
transactions or activities by CCH I and its restricted subsidiaries, including
the covenants summarized below.
Substantially all of CCH I's direct and indirect subsidiaries are currently
restricted subsidiaries. The covenant in the indenture governing the CCH I notes
that restricts incurrence of debt and issuance of preferred stock permits CCH I
and its subsidiaries to incur or issue specified amounts of debt or preferred
stock, if, after giving pro forma affect to the incurrence or issuance, CCH I
could meet a leverage ratio (ratio of consolidated debt to four times EBITDA, as
defined, from the most recent fiscal quarter for which internal financial
reports are available) of 7.5 to 1.0.
In addition, regardless of whether the leverage ratio could be met, so long as
no default exists or would result from the incurrence or issuance, CCH I and its
restricted subsidiaries are permitted to incur or issue:
- up to $9.75 billion of debt under credit facilities (less the amount
of net proceeds of asset sales applied to repay such debt as required
by the asset sale covenant);
- up to $75 million of debt incurred to finance the purchase or capital
lease of new assets;
- up to $300 million of additional debt for any purpose; and
- other items of indebtedness for specific purposes such as intercompany
debt, refinancing of existing debt, and interest rate swaps to provide
protection against fluctuation in interest rates.
The restricted subsidiaries of CCH I are generally not permitted to issue debt
securities contractually subordinated to other debt of the issuing subsidiary or
preferred stock, in either case in any public offering or private placement. The
CCH I indenture generally permits CCH I and its restricted subsidiaries to incur
debt under one category, and later reclassify that debt into another category.
The Charter Operating credit facilities generally impose more restrictive
limitations on incurring new debt than those in the CCH I indenture, so our
subsidiaries that are subject to credit facilities are not permitted to utilize
the full debt incurrence that would otherwise be available under the CCH I
indenture covenants.
Generally, under the CCH I indenture:
CCH I and its restricted subsidiaries are permitted to pay dividends on equity
interests, repurchase interests, or make other specified restricted payments
only if CCH I can incur $1.00 of new debt under the leverage ratio test, which
requires that CCH I meet a 7.5 to 1.0 leverage ratio after giving effect to the
transaction, and if no default exists or would exist as a consequence of such
incurrence. If those conditions are met, restricted payments are permitted in a
total amount of up to 100% of CCH I's consolidated EBITDA, as defined, minus 1.3
times its consolidated interest expense, plus 100% of new cash and appraised
non-cash equity proceeds received by CCH I and not allocated to certain
investments, all cumulatively from September 28, 2005, plus $100 million.
In addition, CCH I and its restricted subsidiaries may make distributions or
restricted payments, so long as no default exists or would be caused by the
transaction:
- to repurchase management equity interests in amounts not to exceed $10
million per fiscal year;
- to pay, regardless of the existence of any default, pass-through tax
liabilities in respect of ownership of equity interests in CCH I or
its restricted subsidiaries;
- to enable certain of its parents to pay interest on certain of their
indebtedness;
- to enable certain of its parents to purchase, redeem or refinance
certain indebtedness, so long as CCH I could incur $1.00 of
indebtedness under the 7.5 to 1.0 leverage ratio test referred to
above; or
- to make other specified restricted payments including merger fees up
to 1.25% of the transaction value, repurchases using concurrent new
issuances, and certain dividends on existing subsidiary preferred
equity interests.
The indenture governing the CCH I notes restricts CCH I and its restricted
subsidiaries from making investments, except specified permitted investments, or
creating new unrestricted subsidiaries, if there is a default under the
indenture or if CCH I could not incur $1.00 of new debt under the 7.5 to 1.0
leverage ratio test described above after giving effect to the transaction.
Permitted investments include:
- investments by CCH I and its restricted subsidiaries in CCH I and in
other restricted subsidiaries;
- or entities that become restricted subsidiaries as a result of the
investment;
- investments aggregating up to 100% of new cash equity proceeds
received by CCH I since September 28, 2005 to the extent the proceeds
have not been allocated to the restricted payments covenant described
above;
- other investments up to $750 million outstanding at any time; and
- certain specified additional investments, such as investments in
customers and suppliers in the ordinary course of business and
investments received in connection with permitted asset sales.
CCH I is not permitted to grant liens on its assets other than specified
permitted liens. Permitted liens include liens securing the purchase price of
new assets, liens securing indebtedness up to $50 million and other specified
liens. The lien covenant does not restrict liens on assets of subsidiaries of
CCH I.
CCH I and CCH I Capital Corp., its co-issuer, are generally not permitted to
sell all or substantially all of their assets or merge with or into other
companies unless their leverage ratio after any such transaction would be no
greater than their leverage ratio immediately prior to the transaction, or
unless CCH I and its subsidiaries could incur $1.00 of new debt under the 7.50
to 1.0 leverage ratio test described above after giving effect to the
transaction, no default exists, and the surviving entity is a U.S. entity that
assumes the CCH I notes.
CCH I and its restricted subsidiaries may generally not otherwise sell assets
or, in the case of restricted subsidiaries, issue equity interests, unless they
receive consideration at least equal to the fair market value of the assets or
equity interests, consisting of at least 75% in cash, assumption of liabilities,
securities converted into cash within 60 days or productive assets. CCH I and
its restricted subsidiaries are then required within 365 days after any asset
sale either to commit to use the net cash proceeds over a specified threshold to
acquire assets, including current assets, used or useful in their businesses or
use the net cash proceeds to repay certain debt, or to offer to repurchase the
CCH I notes with any remaining proceeds.
CCH I and its restricted subsidiaries may generally not engage in sale and
leaseback transactions unless, at the time of the transaction, CCH I could have
incurred secured indebtedness in an amount equal to the present value of the net
rental payments to be made under the lease, and the sale of the assets and
application of proceeds is permitted by the covenant restricting asset sales.
CCH I's restricted subsidiaries may generally not enter into restrictions on
their ability to make dividends or distributions or transfer assets to CCH I on
terms that are materially more restrictive than those governing their debt,
lien, asset sale, lease and similar agreements existing when they entered into
the indenture.
The restricted subsidiaries of CCH I are generally not permitted to guarantee or
pledge assets to secure other debt of CCH I, unless the guarantying subsidiary
issues a guarantee of the CCH I notes and waives any rights of reimbursement,
indemnity or subrogation arising from the guarantee transaction for at least one
year.
The indenture also restricts the ability of CCH I and its restricted
subsidiaries to enter into certain transactions with affiliates involving
consideration in excess of $15 million without a determination by the board of
directors that the transaction is on terms no less favorable than arms-length,
or transactions with affiliates involving over $50 million without receiving an
independent opinion as to the fairness of the transaction to the holders of the
CCH I notes.
In addition, as part of the transaction, Charter Holdings and another Charter
subsidiary, Charter Communications Holdings Capital Corporation, entered into
supplemental indentures. The supplemental indentures are described as follows
